Lead Pony are a San Diego based ‘dirty blues rock band’, that only formed in early 2017. The quartet, featuring Jesse Hofstee, Dylan Stallard, Hillary Laughery and R. Fillmore, brings you songs of love, death, and every social statement in-between, that are rooted in the past, with colourful fuzz, dangerous piano, and feverish drumming.

Their new, double A-sided release Two Love Songs does indeed contain two songs (how appropriate):

• Breaker (Don’t Touch Me) is a hard driving tune that questions the meaning of the trials of partnership
• Soul Sucker, my favourite, explores the darker paths our minds tend to conjure, perhaps more than we care to admit

Both tracks come ahead of the band’s first full length, to be released by the end of summer. A second album has already been announced for early 2019.
